a6
(15...0-0-0 is still possible. The drawback of ..a6 is that it makes it difficult to develop the rook as b5 must be met by ..Na5. Note that Nd6 is not a serious threat as it can be met by
..Nf8-g6 x e5)
16.c4
The thematic break aiming to take maximum advantage of Black's lack of development. Also good is 16 Rfe1 aiming to keep a bind on the position perhaps with an advance of the h-pawn to follow.)
16...Nxb4

Qe7?
This proves to be a wasted tempo as the attack on the knight is illusory. White now has a clear advantage whereas after the immediate 17..Nc6 Black would keep prospects of achieving equality.

An excellent game from Fenella which illustrates the dangers to Black of allowing the dxc5, b4 idea and of over-passive play in general.) 1-0
